Emma.
Film adaptation of Jane Austen’s comedy. A young, rich girl must navigate her way through misguided matches and romantic missteps to realize the love that has been there all along.
Handsome, clever and rich, 21-year-old Emma Woodhouse is a restless ‘queen bee’ who has lived all her life in the sleepy English village of Highbury. When our story begins, Emma has just discovered the thrill of matchmaking. As would-be lovers mix and mingle at social affairs, misguided assumptions lead to comical missteps and grave social faux pas, with Emma at the centre of them all. Only by coming to terms with her own flaws and mistakes can she navigate the path toward maturity and discover her perfect match, which has been right in front of her all along.
In her touching, funny and beautifully realized feature directorial debut, filmmaker Autumn de Wilde presents a wonderful comedic satire of social class and the challenges of growing up. Anya Taylor-Joy, known from PEAKY BLINDERS and Robbert Eggers’ THE VVITCH, takes on the role of Emma.
